lily of the valley.

my mama is the sweetest. after a long day of 9-11

i came home and was in a sleepy mood.

and a little ornery if i might add.

i walk in and see a little bouquet of fresh

lily of the valley

that my mom put together for me.

she is the best.

and she sure knows how to brighten my day.

{well i guess i should technically say night}

good night bloggy friends!

the weekend.

1. got to spend time with the old roomies. we watched an awesome video i had put together of our two years at college of all of our videos/pictures/inside jokes/quotes and we laughed a ton. i love when we are able to get together. its the bestest. we just get each other.

2. kimbo and me at work. gotta love saturdays at work. and no make up :) 

3. girls night out with my sis. i was brave and went & got indian food. it was fabulous. highly recommended it. im so proud of myself for trying new things. if you know me i like to stick to my basics. then we headed over to the sweet tooth fairy for some goodies. oh and did i mention their treats were in the goodie bags for the country grammys? then we went shoe shopping. more on that later. i just love my sis. & wished my other two lived closer so they could join in on the fun!

4. it SNOWED. i couldn't believe my eyes. i was just loving the idea of warm{er} weather, but that's utah for you.

5. puzzle time. i love my puzzle time.

6. and the best part of my weekend was watching conference!!! oh how i needed it. it always seems to come at the time when i need it the most. such inspiration and love was felt. i love the gospel with all my heart. it is such a peace and comfort in my life. i am blessed.

 i  invited the sister missionaries over to watch it on sunday! and i made a nummy treat.  we had a great time.

can't wait till next weekend.

it will be just as wonderful.

do you have any fun plans for this

coming weekend??

green.

{green shoes today}

green makes me happy.
its always been my favorite color since I was a little girl.

lately I've been thinking about me. my life. where I've been. where I'm going. the people who have made me who i am. the experiences i have had that have made me who I am. how blessed I am.

there truly have been so many people who have touched my life. there are too many to name. but to name a few that stand out from past years.

*mr. rentz- {my 9th grade student council advisor} He taught me that i can do anything i set my mind to. i can do great things. i can be who i want to be-i just have to act upon it. he taught me to have self confidence. and many other lessons that i will never forget. this is when i think i started to become ME.

*my mother- {I've always been a mama's girl} She is the most selfless person i know. each day she teaches me something new.she is always so positive and teaches me to be positive. we have always been best friends and grow closer the older i get. she has set her expectations high for me and now i set them high for myself. i want to be just like her when i grow up.

*ryne {an old friend}- he taught me ambition for life. to live each day to the fullest. to do what is right. to make each choice count. to look at the spiritual side of everything. to be sincere. to mean it. to be a TRUE friend.

*kathleen pili {college drill coach}- to love life. to accept everyone. to be there for everyone. to LOVE everyone. to work hard. to laugh. that i can do tough things. do to what you love. to be a leader.

these people made me- ME. who i am today. they probably will never know how much they influenced my life + changed me for the better. but they did.

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. ~William James

who made you- you??
have a good weekend.
i know i will.
